Description
In "Mobius Dick," physicist John Ringer receives a mysterious text message that triggers an investigation into the development of new mobile phone technology in a research facility outside a remote Scottish village. The world is experiencing strange phenomena like amnesia, telepathy, false memory, and inexplicable coincidences with humorous and brain-teasing results. Could quantum experiments have caused the collapse of our universe's space-time continuum? Is the multi-layered text we are reading from another world altogether?
